A Strange But True Story

I just had to share this news article. Fact is stranger than fiction.

Did they really think it would work? How were they going to explain the fact that they had to wheel him in to the store in a chair? Did they not think their charade would be discovered once the store clerk asked the dead man a question (as he surely would have if they had gotten that far)?

I struggled over coming up with some title for this post that played of the story but could not think of any that didn't seem in some respect disrespectful to the dead man.

Where do you find these things?!!

I think one of your weird list points should have been the weird things you post on this blog!

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction!

I read this article also on the Internet before you posted it on your blog. I wondered the same things you did. The apparent scrambled state of those guys' brains should be a clear warning to anyone who thinks a lifetime on drugs and liquor is a really cool way to live. The story reads like a bad comedy movie.

That is a strange story! I am just sitting here thinking, they could have least used a wheel chair. But it's sad how some members of our society see the deaths of others as ways to make money for themselves.

Did you read my blog or in the news about the couple that got married in England, only to find out they were birth twins? Check it out.
